Popular Croatian old town rebuilt despite UNESCO protection – residents react angrily. Despite criticism, the city of Trogir sees the renewal of the floor slabs as necessary.
The old paving stones posed a danger to pedestrians. Some citizens welcome the change and find it easier to cross the streets, while others are outraged by the transformation. “Dear tourists, come to Trogir, a city dominated by stupidity and thoughtlessness,” some residents said. ‘A big negative for the mayor that could cost him his mandate,’ another added.
